Get Ready, America — Burger King’s Whopperito Is Coming

The fast food giant has announced it will begin selling the Whopperito around the country beginning August 15:

The Whopperito, which puts Whopper burger ingredients like beef, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and pickles inside a flour tortilla....A queso sauce replaces the mayonnaise from the hamburger.

The Whopperito, which will not be a permanent part of the menu, will cost $2.99 (or $4.99 if you purchase it as part of a combo meal).

“It’s certainly one of the first times that we’ve tapped into the Tex-Mex category,” Alex Macedo, North American president at Burger King, said. “It’s one of the fastest-growing categories -- consumers like the freshness of it, they like the mix of flavors."
